FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to oxadiazole compounds, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) cation channel antagonists.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

TRP channels are a class of ion channels found on the plasma membrane of a variety of human (and other animal) cell types. There are at least 28 known human TRP channels which are broken into a number of families or groups based upon sequence homology and function. Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily A, member 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation conducting channel that modulates membrane potential via flux of sodium, potassium and calcium. TRPA1 has been shown to be highly expressed in the human dorsal root ganglion neurons and peripheral sensory nerves. In humans, TRPA1 is activated by a number of reactive compounds such as acrolein, allylisothiocyanate, ozone as well as unreactive compounds such as nicotine and menthol and is thus thought to act as a chemosensor.

Many of the known TRPA1 agonists are irritants that cause pain, irritation and neurogenic inflammation in humans and other animals. Therefore, it would be expected that TRPA1 antagonists or agents that block the biological effect of TRPA1 channel activators would be useful in the treatment of diseases such as asthma and its exacerbations, chronic cough and related maladies as well as being useful for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Recently, it has also been shown that products of tissue damage and oxidative stress (e.g., 4-hydroxynonenal and related compounds) activate the TRPA1 channel. This finding provides additional rationale for the utility of small molecule TRPA1 antagonists in the treatment of diseases related to tissue damage, oxidative stress and bronchial smooth muscle contraction such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational asthma, and virally-induced lung inflammation. Moreover, recently findings have correlated activation of TRPA1 channels with increased pain perception (Kosugi et al., J. Neurosci 27, (2007) 4443-4451; Kremayer et al., Neuron 66 (2010) 671-680; Wei et al., Pain 152 (2011) 582-591); Wei et al., Neurosci Lett 479 (2010) 253-256)), providing additional rationale for the utility of small molecule TRPA1 inhibitors in the treatment of pain disorders.

In the description herein, if there is a discrepancy between a depicted structure and a name given to that structure, then the depicted structure controls. Additionally, if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold wedged, or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. In some cases, however, where more than one chiral center exists, the structures and names may be represented as single enantiomers to help describe the relative stereochemistry.

Unless otherwise indicated, the term “a compound of the formula” or “a compound of formula” or “compounds of the formula” or “compounds of formula” refers to any compound selected from the genus of compounds as defined by the formula (including any pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester of any such compound if not otherwise noted).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases or free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to a carrier, diluent or excipient that is compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Salts may be formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, preferably hydrochloric acid, and organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, salicylic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, N-acetylcystein and the like. In addition, salts may be prepared by the addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Salts derived from an inorganic base include, but are not limited to, the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, and magnesium salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, such as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, lysine, arginine, N-ethylpiperidine, piperidine, polyamine resins and the like.

The compounds of the present invention can be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Another embodiment provides non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of formula I, which can be useful as an intermediate for isolating or purifying a compound of formula I. The compounds of the present invention can also be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable esters (i.e., the methyl and ethyl esters of the acids of formula I to be used as prodrugs). The compounds of the present invention can also be solvated, i.e. hydrated. The solvation can be effected in the course of the manufacturing process or can take place i.e. as a consequence of hygroscopic properties of an initially anhydrous compound of formula I.

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Diastereomers are stereoisomers with opposite configuration at one or more chiral centers which are not enantiomers. Stereoisomers bearing one or more asymmetric centers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers.” When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center or centers and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−) isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”. In certain embodiments the compound is enriched by at least about 90% by weight with a single diastereomer or enantiomer. In other embodiments the compound is enriched by at least about 95%, 98%, or 99% by weight with a single diastereomer or enantiomer.

Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, regioisomers and individual isomers (e.g., separate enantiomers) are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

The compounds of the invention may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the invention, including but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. In some instances, the stereochemistry has not been determined or has been provisionally assigned. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (−) or l meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms “racemic mixture” and “racemate” refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity. Enantiomers may be separated from a racemic mixture by a chiral separation method, such as supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Assignment of configuration at chiral centers in separated enantiomers may be tentative, and depicted in compounds (l), (m) and (n) for illustrative purposes, while stereochemistry is definitively established, such as from x-ray crystallographic data.

The term “a therapeutically effective amount” of a compound means an amount of compound that is effective to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of disease or prolong the survival of the subject being treated. Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is within the skill in the art. The therapeutically effective amount or dosage of a compound according to this invention can vary within wide limits and may be determined in a manner known in the art. Such dosage will be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case including the specific compound(s) being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, as well as the patient being treated. In general, in the case of oral or parenteral administration to adult humans weighing approximately 70 Kg, a daily dosage of about 0.1 mg to about 5,000 mg, 1 mg to about 1,000 mg, or 1 mg to 100 mg may be appropriate, although the lower and upper limits may be exceeded when indicated. The daily dosage can be administered as a single dose or in divided doses, or for parenteral administration, it may be given as continuous infusion.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is intended to include any and all material compatible with pharmaceutical administration including solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and other materials and compounds compatible with pharmaceutical administration. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active compound, use thereof in the compositions of the invention is contemplated. Supplementary active compounds can also be incorporated into the compositions.

Useful pharmaceutical carriers for the preparation of the compositions hereof, can be solids, liquids or gases; thus, the compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, suppositories, powders, enterically coated or other protected formulations (e.g. binding on ion-exchange resins or packaging in lipid-protein vesicles), sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, and the like. The carrier can be selected from the various oils including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, and the like. Water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and glycols are preferred liquid carriers, particularly (when isotonic with the blood) for injectable solutions. For example, formulations for intravenous administration comprise sterile aqueous solutions of the active ingredient(s) which are prepared by dissolving solid active ingredient(s) in water to produce an aqueous solution, and rendering the solution sterile. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, cellulose, talc, glucose, lactose, talc, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol, and the like. The compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical additives such as preservatives, stabilizing agents, wetting or emulsifying agents, salts for adjusting osmotic pressure, buffers and the like. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers and their formulation are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences by E. W. Martin. Such compositions will, in any event, contain an effective amount of the active compound together with a suitable carrier so as to prepare the proper dosage form for proper administration to the recipient.

In the practice of the method of the present invention, a therapeutically effective amount of any one of the compounds of this invention or a combination of any of the compounds of this invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, is administered via any of the usual and acceptable methods known in the art, either singly or in combination. The compounds or compositions can thus be administered orally (e.g., buccal cavity), sublingually, parenterally (e.g., intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously), rectally (e.g., by suppositories or washings), transdermally (e.g., skin electroporation) or by inhalation (e.g., by aerosol), and in the form of solid, liquid or gaseous dosages, including tablets and suspensions. The administration can be conducted in a single unit dosage form with continuous therapy or in a single dose therapy ad libitum. The therapeutic composition can also be in the form of an oil emulsion or dispersion in conjunction with a lipophilic salt such as pamoic acid, or in the form of a biodegradable sustained-release composition for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.

In some aspects, the compound of formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers thereof, is selected from the following:

In another embodiment of the invention, the compounds of formula (I) are isotopically-labeled by having one or more atoms therein replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. Such isotopically-labeled (i.e., radiolabeled) compounds of formula I are considered to be within the scope of this invention. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of formula I include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as, but not limited to, ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. These isotopically-labeled compounds would be useful to help determine or measure the effectiveness of the compounds, by characterizing, for example, the site or mode of action on the ion channels, or binding affinity to pharmacologically important site of action on the ion channels, particularly TRPA1. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of formula I, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. For example, a compound of formula I can be enriched with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95, or 99 percent of a given isotope.

Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. ²H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Accordingly, the term “hydrogen” or —H as used herein should be understood as encompassing deuterium and tritium.

Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of formula I can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

In another embodiment, the invention provides for a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent and/or excipient.

In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds which are in a prodrug form. As used herein the term “prodrug” refers to those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

Prodrugs of the invention may include phosphates, phosphate esters, alkyl phosphates, alkyl phosphate esters, acyl ethers, or other prodrug moieties as discussed below. In some embodiments, the prodrug moiety is:

Additional types of prodrugs are also encompassed. For example, where an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues, is covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy or carboxylic acid group of a compound of the present invention. The amino acid residues include but are not limited to the 20 naturally occurring amino acids commonly designated by three letter symbols and also includes phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, phosphotyrosine, 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, gamma-carboxyglutamate, hippuric acid, octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid, statine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, penicillamine, ornithine, 3-methylhistidine, norvaline, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline, homocysteine, homoserine, methylalanine, para-benzoylphenylalanine, phenylglycine, propargylglycine, sarcosine, methionine sulfone and tert-butylglycine.

Additional types of prodrugs are also encompassed. For instance, a free carboxyl group of a compound of the invention can be derivatized as an amide or alkyl ester. As another example, compounds of this invention comprising free hydroxy groups can be derivatized as prodrugs by converting the hydroxy group into a group such as, but not limited to, a phosphate ester, hemisuccinate, dimethylaminoacetate, or phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyl group, as outlined in Fleisher, D. et al., (1996) Improved oral drug delivery: solubility limitations overcome by the use of prodrugs Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 19:115. Carbamate prodrugs of hydroxy and amino groups are also included, as are carbonate prodrugs, sulfonate esters and sulfate esters of hydroxyl groups. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers, wherein the acyl group can be an alkyl ester optionally substituted with groups including, but not limited to, ether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, are also encompassed. Prodrugs of this type are described in J. Med. Chem., (1996), 39:10. More specific examples include replacement of the hydrogen atom of the alcohol group with a group such as (C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxymethyl, 1-((C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1-methyl-1-((C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, (C₁₋₆)alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, N—(C₁₋₆)alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl, succinoyl, (C₁₋₆)alkanoyl, alpha-amino(C₁₋₄)alkanoyl, arylacyl and alpha-aminoacyl, or alpha-aminoacyl-alpha-aminoacyl, where each alpha-aminoacyl group is independently selected from the naturally occurring L-amino acids, P(O)(OH)₂, —P(O)(O(C₁₋₆)alkyl)₂ or glycosyl (the radical resulting from the removal of a hydroxyl group of the hemiacetal form of a carbohydrate).

Widder, et al. (Academic Press, 1985); b) A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, edited by Krogsgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Chapter 5 “Design and Application of Prodrugs,” by H. Bundgaard p. 113-191 (1991); c) H. Bundgaard, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 8:1-38 (1992); d) H. Bundgaard, et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 77:285 (1988); and e) N. Kakeya, et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 32:692 (1984), each of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, the present invention provides for metabolites of compounds of the invention. As used herein, a “metabolite” refers to a product produced through metabolism in the body of a specified compound or salt thereof. Such products can result for example from the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, deesterification, enzymatic cleavage, and the like, of the administered compound.

Metabolite products typically are identified by preparing a radiolabeled (e.g., ¹⁴C or ³H) isotope of a compound of the invention, administering it parenterally in a detectable dose (e.g., greater than about 0.5 mg/kg) to an animal such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur (typically about 30 seconds to 30 hours) and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples. These products are easily isolated since they are labeled (others are isolated by the use of antibodies capable of binding epitopes surviving in the metabolite). The metabolite structures are determined in conventional fashion, e.g., by MS, LC/MS or NMR analysis. In general, analysis of metabolites is done in the same way as conventional drug metabolism studies well known to those skilled in the art. The metabolite products, so long as they are not otherwise found in vivo, are useful in diagnostic assays for therapeutic dosing of the compounds of the invention.

Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

In another embodiment of the invention, processes for making the subject compounds are provided. Referring to Scheme I, there is shown a general synthetic procedure for making compounds of the invention, wherein X^(a) is halo and may be the same or different in each occurrence, R^(a) is aryl or C₁₋₆alkyl and may be the same or different in each occurrence, and R¹, R¹⁸ and k are as defined herein.

In step 1 of Scheme 1, aryl aldehyde compound a is reacted with allyl Grignard reagent b to afford allyl aryl alcohol compound c. In certain embodiments X^(a) may be halo, and R¹ may be hydrogen. The reaction of step 1 may be carried out under polar aprotic solvent conditions using THF or the like.

An oxidation is carried out in step 2 to oxidize the unsaturation in compound c to provide the epoxy aryl alcohol compound d. This reaction may be achieved using a mild oxidizing agent such as meta chloro perbenzoic acid in polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane.

In step 3 a rearrangement is effected y treatment of epoxide compound d with strong acid, such as sulfuric acid, to form aryl hydroxyl tetrahydrofuran compound e. This reaction may be carried out in a water soluble polar solvent such as dioxane.

In step 4 compound e is reacted with sulfonyl halide reagent f to afford aryl tetrahydrofuran sulfonate compound g. The reaction of step 4 may be achieved in the presence of amine catalyst in the presence of polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane. In certain embodiments R^(a) may be methyl and X^(a) may be chloro.

In step 5, compound g is treated with a cyanide reagent such as sodium or potassium cyanide, to displace the sulfonate group and provide aryl tetrahydrofuran nitrile compound h. This reaction may be carried out in polar, water miscible solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide.

In step 6 nitrile compound h is treated with hydroxylamine to afford aryl tetrahydrofuran hydroxyl carboximidamide compound j. The reaction of step 6 may be carried out in alcohol solvent such as ethanol.

A ring formation occurs in step 7 by reaction of compound j with bis haloacetic anhydride reagent k to afford aryl oxadiazolyl tetrahydrofuran compound m. This reaction may be done in a polar aprotic solvent such as dichloroethane. In certain embodiments X^(a) is chloro.

In step 8 an N-alkylation is carried out by reaction of imidazopyrimidone compound n with compound n to yield tetrahydrofuran oxadiazole compound 2, which is a compound of formula I in accordance with the invention. The reaction of step 8 may be carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate and trialkylammonium iodide in a solvent such as DMF.

Referring now to Scheme 2, another procedure making compounds of the invention is shown.

In step 1 of Scheme 2, aryl aldehyde compound a is reacted with allyl acetate reagent g to provide aryl allyl alcohol compound c. A chiral or assymetric synthesis reagent such as (R) or (S) BINAP (2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl) may be used in step 1 to impart desired stereochemistry to compound c. In this regard, the reaction of step 1 may be carried out in the presence of Cesium carbonate, 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid and/or halo cyclooctadiene iridium (I) dimer in an alcohol solvent such as isopropanol.

In step 2 compound c undergoes bromination to afford dibromo compound r. The reaction of step 2 may be carried out by treating compound c directly with bromine in polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane.

A cyclization is carried out in step 3 to afford aryl bromo tetrahydrofuran compound s. The reaction of step 3 may be achieved by treatment of compound r with potassium carbonate in alcohol solvent such as methanol.

In step 4, aryl bromo tetrahydrofuran compound s is treated with cyanate to form aryl tetrahydrofuran nitrile compound h. This reaction may be effected using potassium cyanate in dimethylsulfoxide or like solvent.

Using compound h, steps 6, 7 and 8 of Scheme 1 may then be carried out to afford tetrahydrofuran oxadiazole compound 2, which is a compound of formula I in accordance with the invention.

Many variations on the above procedures are possible within the scope of the invention and will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. Several different bicyclic heteroaryl compounds may be used in place of imidazopyrimidone compound n, as will be made apparent by the experimental examples below. Chiral column separation techniques may be utilized on the final compound p as well as certain intermediates to provide particular desired stereoisomers, as described in the experimental examples below.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration

In addition to one or more of the compounds provided above (including stereoisomers, tautomers, solvates, metabolites, isotopes, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or prodrugs thereof), the invention also provides for compositions and medicaments comprising a compound of formula I or and embodiment thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compositions of the invention can be used to selectively inhibit TRPA1 in patients (e.g., humans).

The term “composition” as used herein, is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

In one embodiment, the invention provides for pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments comprising a compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof, and its stereoisomers, tautomers, solvates, metabolites, isotopes, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or prodrugs thereof) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. In another embodiment, the invention provides for preparing compositions (or medicaments) comprising compounds of the invention. In another embodiment, the invention provides for administering compounds of formula I or its embodiments and compositions comprising compounds of formula I or an embodiment thereof to a patient (e.g., a human patient) in need thereof.

Compositions are formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The effective amount of the compound to be administered will be governed by such considerations, and is the minimum amount necessary to inhibit TRPA1 activity as required to prevent or treat the undesired disease or disorder, such as for example, pain. For example, such amount may be below the amount that is toxic to normal cells, or the mammal as a whole.

In one example, the therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the invention administered parenterally per dose will be in the range of about 0.01-100 mg/kg, alternatively about e.g., 0.1 to 20 mg/kg of patient body weight per day, with the typical initial range of compound used being 0.3 to 15 mg/kg/day. The daily does is, in certain embodiments, given as a single daily dose or in divided doses two to six times a day, or in sustained release form. In the case of a 70 kg adult human, the total daily dose will generally be from about 7 mg to about 1,400 mg. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day, preferably once or twice per day.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered in any convenient administrative form, e.g., tablets, powders, capsules, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, syrups, sprays, suppositories, gels, emulsions, patches, etc. Such compositions may contain components conventional in pharmaceutical preparations, e.g., diluents, carriers, pH modifiers, sweeteners, bulking agents, and further active agents.

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable means, including oral, topical (including buccal and sublingual), rectal, vaginal, transdermal, parenteral, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, intradermal, intrathecal and epidural and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intracerebral, intraocular, intralesional or subcutaneous administration.

The compositions comprising compounds of formula I or an embodiment thereof are normally formulated in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice as a pharmaceutical composition. A typical formulation is prepared by mixing a compound of the present invention and a diluent, carrier or excipient. Suitable diluents, carriers and excipients are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in detail in, e.g., Ansel, Howard C., et al., Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, Alfonso R., et al. Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Raymond C. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. The formulations may also include one or more buffers, stabilizing agents, surfactants, wetting agents, lubricating agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opaquing agents, glidants, processing aids, colorants, sweeteners, perfuming agents, flavoring agents, diluents and other known additives to provide an elegant presentation of the drug (i.e., a compound of the present invention or pharmaceutical composition thereof) or aid in the manufacturing of the pharmaceutical product (i.e., medicament). Suitable carriers, diluents and excipients are well known to those skilled in the art and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g., Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as TWEEN™, PLURONICS™ or polyethylene glycol (PEG). A active pharmaceutical ingredient of the invention (e.g., a compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof) can also be entrapped in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and poly-(methylmethacylate) microcapsules, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy: Remington the Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2005) 21st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa. The particular carrier, diluent or excipient used will depend upon the means and purpose for which a compound of the present invention is being applied. Solvents are generally selected based on solvents recognized by persons skilled in the art as safe (GRAS) to be administered to a mammal. In general, safe solvents are non-toxic aqueous solvents such as water and other non-toxic solvents that are soluble or miscible in water. Suitable aqueous solvents include water, ethanol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols (e.g., PEG 400, PEG 300), etc. and mixtures thereof. Acceptable diluents, carriers, excipients and stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed.

Sustained-release preparations of a compound of the invention (e.g., compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof) can be prepared. Suitable examples of sustained-release preparations include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing a compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsules. Examples of sustained-release matrices include polyesters, hydrogels (for example, poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate), or poly(vinyl alcohol)), polylactides (U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919), copolymers of L-glutamic acid and gamma-ethyl-L-glutamate (Sidman et al., Biopolymers 22:547, 1983), non-degradable ethylene-vinyl acetate (Langer et al., J. Biomed. Mater. Res. 15:167, 1981), degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers such as the LUPRON DEPOT™ (injectable microspheres composed of lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and leuprolide acetate) and poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (EP 133,988A). Sustained release compositions also include liposomally entrapped compounds, which can be prepared by methods known per se (Epstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 82:3688, 1985; Hwang et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:4030, 1980; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,485,045 and 4,544,545; and EP 102,324A). Ordinarily, the liposomes are of the small (about 200-800 Angstroms) unilamelar type in which the lipid content is greater than about 30 mol % cholesterol, the selected proportion being adjusted for the optimal therapy.

In one example, compounds of formula I or an embodiment thereof may be formulated by mixing at ambient temperature at the appropriate pH, and at the desired degree of purity, with physiologically acceptable carriers, i.e., carriers that are non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed into a galenical administration form. The pH of the formulation depends mainly on the particular use and the concentration of compound, but preferably ranges anywhere from about 3 to about 8. In one example, a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) is formulated in an acetate buffer, at pH 5. In another embodiment, the compounds of formula I or an embodiment thereof are sterile. The compound may be stored, for example, as a solid or amorphous composition, as a lyophilized formulation or as an aqueous solution.

Formulations of a compound of the invention (e.g., compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof) suitable for oral administration can be prepared as discrete units such as pills, capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of a compound of the invention.

Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered active ingredient moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets can optionally be coated or scored and optionally are formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therefrom.

Tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oil suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, e.g., gelatin capsules, syrups or elixirs can be prepared for oral use. Formulations of a compound of the invention (e.g., compound of formula I or an embodiment thereof) intended for oral use can be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions can contain one or more agents including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a palatable preparation. Tablets containing the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which are suitable for manufacture of tablets are acceptable. These excipients can be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as maize starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, such as starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. Tablets can be uncoated or can be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax can be employed.

An example of a suitable oral administration form is a tablet containing about 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 80 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 250 mg, 300 mg and 500 mg of the compound of the invention compounded with about 90-30 mg anhydrous lactose, about 5-40 mg sodium croscarmellose, about 5-30 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30, and about 1-10 mg magnesium stearate. The powdered ingredients are first mixed together and then mixed with a solution of the PVP. The resulting composition can be dried, granulated, mixed with the magnesium stearate and compressed to tablet form using conventional equipment. An example of an aerosol formulation can be prepared by dissolving the compound, for example 5-400 mg, of the invention in a suitable buffer solution, e.g. a phosphate buffer, adding a tonicifier, e.g. a salt such sodium chloride, if desired. The solution may be filtered, e.g., using a 0.2 micron filter, to remove impurities and contaminants.

For treatment of the eye or other external tissues, e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a topical ointment or cream containing the active ingredient(s) in an amount of, for example, 0.075 to 20% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredient can be employed with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients can be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base can include a polyhydric alcohol, i.e., an alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups such as propylene glycol, butane 1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol (including PEG 400) and mixtures thereof. The topical formulations can desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethyl sulfoxide and related analogs.

For topical formulations, it is desired to administer an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention to target area, e.g., skin surfaces, mucous membranes, and the like, which are adjacent to peripheral neurons which are to be treated. This amount will generally range from about 0.0001 mg to about 1 g of a compound of the invention per application, depending upon the area to be treated, whether the use is diagnostic, prophylactic or therapeutic, the severity of the symptoms, and the nature of the topical vehicle employed. A preferred topical preparation is an ointment, wherein about 0.001 to about 50 mg of active ingredient is used per cc of ointment base. The pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as transdermal compositions or transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such compositions include, for example, a backing, active compound reservoir, a control membrane, liner and contact adhesive. Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous pulsatile, or on demand delivery of the compounds of the present invention as desired.

The formulations can be packaged in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and can be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water, for injection immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions are prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or unit daily sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.

When the binding target is located in the brain, certain embodiments of the invention provide for a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) to traverse the blood-brain barrier. Certain neurodegenerative diseases are associated with an increase in permeability of the blood-brain barrier, such that a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) can be readily introduced to the brain. When the blood-brain barrier remains intact, several art-known approaches exist for transporting molecules across it, including, but not limited to, physical methods, lipid-based methods, and receptor and channel-based methods.

Physical methods of transporting a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) across the blood-brain barrier include, but are not limited to, circumventing the blood-brain barrier entirely, or by creating openings in the blood-brain barrier.

Circumvention methods include, but are not limited to, direct injection into the brain (see, e.g., Papanastassiou et al., Gene Therapy 9:398-406, 2002), interstitial infusion/convection-enhanced delivery (see, e.g., Bobo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91:2076-2080, 1994), and implanting a delivery device in the brain (see, e.g., Gill et al., Nature Med. 9:589-595, 2003; and Gliadel Wafers™, Guildford.

Methods of creating openings in the barrier include, but are not limited to, ultrasound (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002/0038086), osmotic pressure (e.g., by administration of hypertonic mannitol (Neuwelt, E. A., Implication of the Blood-Brain Barrier and its Manipulation, Volumes 1 and 2, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1989)), and permeabilization by, e.g., bradykinin or permeabilizer A-7 (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,112,596, 5,268,164, 5,506,206, and 5,686,416).

Lipid-based methods of transporting a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) across the blood-brain barrier include, but are not limited to, encapsulating the a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) in liposomes that are coupled to antibody binding fragments that bind to receptors on the vascular endothelium of the blood-brain barrier (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0025313), and coating a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) in low-density lipoprotein particles (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0204354) or apolipoprotein E (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0131692).

Receptor and channel-based methods of transporting a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) across the blood-brain barrier include, but are not limited to, using glucocorticoid blockers to increase permeability of the blood-brain barrier (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2002/0065259, 2003/0162695, and 2005/0124533); activating potassium channels (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0089473), inhibiting ABC drug transporters (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0073713); coating a compound of formula I (or an embodiment thereof) with a transferrin and modulating activity of the one or more transferrin receptors (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0129186), and cationizing the antibodies (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,004,697).

For intracerebral use, in certain embodiments, the compounds can be administered continuously by infusion into the fluid reservoirs of the CNS, although bolus injection may be acceptable. The inhibitors can be administered into the ventricles of the brain or otherwise introduced into the CNS or spinal fluid. Administration can be performed by use of an indwelling catheter and a continuous administration means such as a pump, or it can be administered by implantation, e.g., intracerebral implantation of a sustained-release vehicle. More specifically, the inhibitors can be injected through chronically implanted cannulas or chronically infused with the help of osmotic minipumps. Subcutaneous pumps are available that deliver proteins through a small tubing to the cerebral ventricles. Highly sophisticated pumps can be refilled through the skin and their delivery rate can be set without surgical intervention. Examples of suitable administration protocols and delivery systems involving a subcutaneous pump device or continuous intracerebroventricular infusion through a totally implanted drug delivery system are those used for the administration of dopamine, dopamine agonists, and cholinergic agonists to Alzheimer's disease patients and animal models for Parkinson's disease, as described by Harbaugh, J. Neural Transm. Suppl. 24:271, 1987; and DeYebenes et al., Mov. Disord. 2: 143, 1987.

Preparation 1: 7-Methyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one

The Preparation 1 reaction scheme is as follows:

Step 1: Preparation of 6-chloro-7-methyl-7H-purine

To a 1 L 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen was placed 6-chloro-9H-purine (15.4 g, 0.1 mol, 1 equiv) and tetrahydrofuran (155 mL) at 0° C. followed by the addition of MeMgCl (36.6 mL, 1.0M THF solution, 1.1 equiv) dropwise with stirring. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. To this was added iodomethane (42.6 g, 3 equiv) dropwise with stirring. The resulting solution was stirred at 50° C. in an oil bath for 5 h, quenched by the addition of 50 mL of aqueous NH₄Cl and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2×50 mL) and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was re-crystallized from CH₂Cl₂/petroleum ether in the ratio of 1:10 to afford desired product as a greenish solid (7 g, 42%).

Step 2: Preparation of 7-methyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one

To a 1 L 3-necked round-bottom flask was placed 6-chloro-7-methyl-7H-purine (100 g, 590 mmol, 1 eq) and formic acid (1 L). The resulting solution was stirred at 70° C. for 3 h. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was diluted with 500 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×250 mL of ether/ethyl acetate (20:1) and the aqueous layers were concentrated under vacuum with toluene to remove water and formic acid. The residue was dissolved in water. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 9 with NH₃.H₂O (25%) and the aqueous layer was concentrated under vacuum. The solids were collected by filtration, washed with water twice and dried to afford desired product (55 g, 62%) as yellow solid.

Preparation 2: 5-Methylpyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

The reaction scheme for Preparation 2 is as follows:

Step 1: Preparation of 3-bromo-5-fluoroisonicotinic acid

n-BuLi (250 mL, 0.62 mol, 2.5 equiv) was added dropwise into a solution of bis(propan-2-yl)amine (76 g, 0.75 mmol, 3 equiv) and tetrahydrofuran (1 L) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. To this was added 3-bromo-5-fluoropyridine (44 g, 0.25 mol, 1 equiv) dropwise with stirring at −70° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at −70° C. The reaction mixture was then poured into a mixture of dry ice in 500 mL of THF. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in water. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 3 with hydrogen chloride (1 mol/L).

Step 2: Preparation of 6-chloro-N5,2-dimethylpyrimidine-4,5-diamine

To a 500 mL pressure vessel was transferred crude 4,6-dichloro-N,2-dimethylpyrimidin-5-amine (21.6 g, 112 mmol) in Ethanol (70 mL). 28% aqueous NH₄OH (130 mL, 1924 mmol) was added, the flask was sealed and the mixture was stirred in a 80° C. oil bath for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down at 20° C. and it was cooled in an ice bath. A golden solid slowly formed and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with a mixture of cold EtOH (30 mL) and water (60 mL) to give 6-chloro-N5,2-dimethyl-pyrimidine-4,5-diamine (12.2 g, 70.7 mmol, 63% yield, 91% purity by LCMS) as a golden solid. The mother liquor was concentrated and the resulting solid was suspended in MeOH and water (˜5:1). The mixture was heated to 70° C. and it was allowed to cool down at 20° C. The resulting suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with a minimum of cold MeOH to give a second crop of 6-chloro-N5,2-dimethylpyrimidine-4,5-diamine (1.40 g, 8.11 mmol, 7% yield, 97% purity by LCMS) as a beige solid.

Step 3: Preparation of 2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one

To a solution of 6-chloro-2,N5-dimethylpyrimidine-4,5-diamine (3.50 g, 20.3 mmol) in triethyl orthoformate (15 mL) was added formic acid (2.80 g, 60.8 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. overnight. The resulting mixture was concentrated. The crude product was washed with ethyl acetate to give 2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (2.00 g, 60% yield) as a yellow solid. ¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.14 (s, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 2.32 (s, 3H).

Step 4: Preparation of 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one

5-(chloromethyl)-3-[(3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl]-1,2,4-oxadiazole (8.40 g, 28.1 mmol, prepared according to a similar procedure as example 1), 2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (5.07 g, 30.9 mmol) and potassium carbonate (11.6 g, 84.2 mmol) were charged in a 200 mL RBF. DMF (56 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred in a 40° C. oil bath for 2 hours. Heat was removed and the reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel containing EtOAc (100 mL) and water (500 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a mixture of water (40 mL) and brine (40 mL), dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product (77% purity by LCMS). The crude brown oil was dissolved in EtOAc (100 mL) and Heptane (60 mL) was added dropwise which led to the slow formation of a solid. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. and the solid was collected on a Büchner funnel, rinsed with heptane and air dried for 15 min. to give a first lot of 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (8.0 g, 18.7 mmol, 67% yield, 92% purity by LCMS) as a yellow solid. The filtrate was concentrated and it was purified by reverse phase chromatography (C18, MeCN/10 mM NH₄HCO₂ in H₂O, pH 3.8, 0 to 60% gradient) to afford a second lot of 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (950 mg, 2.23 mmol, 8% yield, >99% purity by LCMS) as a white solid.

The first lot of desired product (8.0 g, 92% purity by LCMS) was combined with a third lot obtained from a previous batch (1.3 g, 96% purity by LCMS). The material was dissolved in EtOAc (250 mL) and the solvent was displaced with iPrOH on the rotavap (3 cycles of iPrOH addition (50 mL)/evaporation of 50 mL of solvent). During the process, a solid crashed out and the solvent was reduced to ˜100 mL on the rotavap. The suspension was cooled to 0° C. and the solid was collected on a Büchner funnel, rinsed with cold iPrOH and air dried for 15 min. to give a fourth lot of 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (8.50 g, 99% purity by LCMS) as a light beige solid. Still not satisfied with the color of the purified material, it was dissolved in EtOAc (500 mL) and the brown solution was treated with 8 g of activated charcoal. The mixture was allowed to stir for 15 min. The suspension was filtered on celite and the cake was rinsed with EtOAc. The colorless filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a fifth lot of 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (7.50 g, 99% purity by LCMS) as a white solid. Finally, the second lot (950 mg, >99% purity by LCMS) and the fifth lot (7.50 g, 99% purity by LCMS) were combined in a 200 mL RBF and iPrOH (100 mL) was added. The suspension was stirred in a 100° C. oil bath until full dissolution and water was added (3 mL). The flask was removed from oil bath and the light yellow clear solution was allowed to cool down at room temperature. The suspension was cooled in an ice bath and the solid was collected on a Buchner funnel, rinsed with cold iPrOH (20 mL) and air dried for 24 hours to give the title compound 1-((3-((3R,5R)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1H-purin-6(7H)-one (7.3 g) as a white solid.

IC₅₀ Determinations of Exemplified Compounds

The IC₅₀ (effective concentration) of compounds on the human TRPA1 channel was determined using a FLIPR Tetra instrument. CHO cells expressing TRPA1 were plated into 384-well plates, incubated overnight at 37° C., and loaded with BD calcium indicator dye for 1 hr at 37° C. followed by 15 minutes at room temperature. The assay buffer was Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) containing 20 mM HEPES (pH readjusted to 7.4) along with 0.02% BSA.

Following dye load and plate cool down, compounds were added to the cells using FLIPR Tetra. Plates were then incubated with compounds for 10 minutes or 90 minutes at room temperature prior to adding agonist. Following this incubation, about an EC₈₀ concentration of cinnamaldehyde (75) was added to active the channels and block of cinnamaldehyde induced calcium influx was measured.

The IC₅₀ results were fit with a standard Hill function, keeping the Hill coefficient (n) fixed to 1.5. Fixing the Hill coefficient will generally reduce variability of the IC₅₀ determination. The IC₅₀ results were individually examined to make sure the MIN and MAX points were set correctly prior to validation of the results.

The IC₅₀ (hTRPA1 IC₅₀ (micromolar)) results for compounds of the present disclosure are shown in Table 1 above where “hTRPA1” refers to hTRPA1 CHO Ca2+ MAX EVO (IC₅₀).
